THE NFU Mutual Charitable Trust has made a £50,00 donation to the ARC-Addington Fund to help farmers affected by the collapse of dairy farmers of Britain.

“The problems of dairy farmers of Britain have not only left hundreds of farmers in dire financial straits and in need of immediate help but are also having a knock-on effect on the whole livestock industry,” said Sir Don Curry, chairman of NFU Mutual Charitable Trust.

“We hope this aid will help tide over farming families and their employees until they can make alternative arrangements to supply their milk to other dairies.”

Launched in 1998, the NFU Mutual Charitable Trust supports charitable causes in the areas of agriculture, rural development and insurance in the UK. It is entirely funded by NFU Mutual.

The ARC-Addington Fund is one of the Farming Help group of charities and helps maintain the economic and social fabric of the farming community
